Cofounder/CEO here! I think it less about "versioning", but the ability to modify with confidence knowing that you can go back in time anytime. (Minor clarification: we are not quite storing diffs; holding snapshots just like Git + a bunch of data dedupe)

Versioning is a technique. Backups, copy+paste+rename also does it
